Yang Dao and Amil stood in front of each other but this time, the little boy did not hold a stick in his hand, it was replaced with a spear. A long iron spear, Amil asked, "You sure you can handle that spear?"
Yang Dao clicked his tongue and said, "Won't you know if we fight?"
Shakti said, "Start."
Two people charged forward, while Amil slashed down his halberd, Yang Dao stabbed forward with gusto. The latter did not intend to take the attack head-on, but cleverly parried it to the left and took a step to close the distance between the two people.
Amil spun around and his spear swiped like a dragon's tail and came to hit Yang Dao's torso. The latter raised his spear diagonally in front of him, just when the incoming attack was about to hit him, the boy fell on his butt. He then pumped his spear above and repelled the incoming attack.
Since the Dao Child was moving forward the momentum was not yet exhausted completely and he slid forward. His hands were raised in the air, then he stabbed the spearhead in the ground behind him and used that force to stand up. On the other hand, Amil had lost his center of gravity. His halberd was raised in the air, held with one hand only.
...
Shakti said, "Amil is exposed."
Athena and the rest nodded in agreement. The biggest opportunity for your enemy was your exposed body. This one moment can lead you to death on the battlefield.
...
As the other people observed, Yang Dao suddenly jumped in the air holding the spear in his hand, and swung it at Amil, similarly as the latter has swung at him earlier. However, the momentum Yang Dao generated was too higher. Yes, the Dao Child had jumped in the air, with his body spinning like a top once before gave a little twist to his arms and transferred the kinetic force in the spear and hit Amil hard on the torso.
Amil was now in the seventh level of the spirit formation realm, he was stronger by four minor realms, yet he took ten steps back to stabilize himself. He felt sore on his ribcage where the spear had hit. He knew that Yang Dao purposefully did not induce spirit energy in his attack, or he would have been injured.
Yang Dao landed on the ground but he did not give Amil any chance to regain his bearings and moved forward. He thrust the spearhead at Amil and said, "Careful, intent."
His two words were enough to tell Amil that he would be using his weapon intent this time. The latter also held his halberd diagonally and stabbed forward. The two weapons let out a shrill sound as they tore through the void.
The next scene was sparks flying in the void and followed by loud tinkling sounds. It was as if a hail storm hitting a piece of metal. The other people were mesmerized by the display. Alisha said, "Do not look at the fickle beauty, close your eyes and sense the intent flowing in the air."
Athena, Trent, Daniel, Daina, and Shakti, all followed her instruction and closed their eyes. They all were far behind the realm to comprehend the intent of a weapon but Yang Dao and Amil had already compressed a seed of intent in their martial arts.
This was an opportunity for all of them to comprehend something. However, it was all dependent on luck. As the attacks of the two people became intense the weapon intent flowing in the surroundings became thicker and began to influence the weapons they all carried.
Daina had a long sword tied on her waist, while Trent wore gauntlets, Daniel stood with a spear on his back. The spear was the first weapon that began to tremble, from the intent reflecting over it. The two were fighting with spear-type weapons.
The next was sword because Yang Dao was using his spear as a sword, and the brutality and unrestraint madness in the attacks made the gauntlets vibrate. The intent of a weapon was never made up of one single thing, it was something that carried a lot of things mixed within it, just like the air.
Different people needed different elements of the air to strive forward and that was what happened in the garden. The weapons trembled because the people wished to sense these elements.
On the other hand, Yang Dao and Amil had almost used up all of their main cards. This was a spar so the secret cards were not to be played against their own friends. Yang Dao however, did not hesitate and amidst the battle, he closed his eyes.
The next moment, his movements changed. His spear moved in the wind like a whip. He was comprehending something he had just learned, yes, this was something he discovered when he was fighting with Amil.
The war master hall seedling stopped his attacks when he saw Yang Dao dancing with the spear in the garden but his attacks were not aimed at him. He was confused when suddenly he heard a soft voice, "Spear Master."
He turned around and saw the speak, Shakti. She stood with her eyes wide open. Amil said after gulping a mouthful, "This guy comprehended the flexibility of the spear?"
Shakti nodded. The two of them were also, among the ranks of spear masters, however, what was their age, and what was the age of this child in front of them. Amil felt ashamed but when he thought that Shakti was older than him, he was secretly happy.
The others had also opened their eyes and watched Yang Dao dancing with his spear in the garden as if a dragon flicking his tail with joy. Only after ten minutes did the boy stop. He opened his eyes and said, "Senior Sister Shakti, I would like to rest for ten minutes. I need to comprehend this."
Shakti nodded in understanding. She understood that he had touched upon something really crucial and needed to meditate and increase his understanding. She was very surprised by his potential to comprehend things amidst the fight. These sorts of things were rare.
Yang Dao sat down on the grass and closed his eyes, with a spear laying in his lap. He quickly entered the state of meditation.
...
Alisha said, "Junior Brother Amil, you also, comprehend the battle just now. If not for his enlightenment, you would have lost."
Amil nodded and said, "Earlier if he had induced spirit energy in his swing, I would have been injured. Also, his attacks during the second half were like a hook, pulling me around. I just wanted to compare with him to the limits."
Shakti said, "His intent did not only pull you along, but all of us realized a little something. Also, I can tell you one thing, the prowess he has shown now is not his true level. His first attack went through the walls of the Weapon master hall and reached the formation hall. Better not think of him as a child."
The people were surprised, Alisha said, "Shakti, you should not fight with him."
Shakti raised her eyebrow, she could not see Yang Dao, because as they were talking they all were facing each other and her back happened to be facing Yang Dao. Alisha pointed her finger at her back and the latter turned around.
She was shocked by what she saw. The spear in Yang Dao's lap was floating and trembling slightly. She mumbled, "He even touched the intent of spear. What sort of heavenly comprehension is he blessed with?"
...
In the heavenly dao palace, Feng Yun put down a cup of tea and said, "Ryu."
Her voice was soft but Ryu Jinshi shivered and said, "I swear, I did not do anything. It was elder."
The two ladies turned their heads towards Atsuji Kurogame and the man said, "I implanted a lot of gifts from us all inside the two Dao Children. Dao Yin is very proficient in weapons while the young master lacked in it. So I unlocked their comprehension prowess this time. Both of them are equally talented, as soon as they wish to try something, they will be able to succeed but they need to be sincere."
Laohu Bai sighed and said, "Dao Yin is making similar progress to him, and their personalities are growing in balance as well. However, they have it easy. It is not good for them to have too much too easily."
Feng Yun said, "Their tribulations are coming soon, I will not have any interference allowed. Do you two men understand?"
The two men nodded and continued sipping tea.
...
Yang Dao opened his eyes and looked around, only to find all the people sitting around him and meditating. He did not know what to say, he was hungry but they all were busy meditating. He sighed and went back to cultivation.
